PILOT WHALE — Cargo · IMO 9192698

PILOT WHALE has not broadcast an AIS position for 85 days. The most recent broadcast placed it in the East China Sea, on 13 Aug 2026, 10:18 UTC. It was sailing from ZHANGJIAGANG to BAHUDOPI. Vessels stop appearing on terrestrial AIS when they move beyond receiver range, so a gap does not necessarily mean the vessel is inactive.

PILOT WHALE broadcasts MMSI 352003656 and is registered as IMO 9192698, with call sign 3E4780 . The MMSI is the radio identifier used by AIS; the IMO number stays with the ship for life and does not change with re-flagging or sale.

PILOT WHALE is classified as a cargo vessel registered under the PA flag. The vessel-type classification is derived from the AIS Type field broadcast by the ship's transponder; full cargo fleet at /vessel-type/cargo and full PA flag list at /flag/pa.
